How this automation works

Automatically create a new Square customer whenever you add a contact to your iOS Contacts. This runs every time a new contact is saved on your device, transferring the contact details into a new Square customer record. It’s perfect for small business owners or sales teams who want to seamlessly sync new phone contacts with their Square account.
